Hello,
I’ve got a site with 5 subsites. The subsites house their own data that also feed into the primary site. Since upgrading to EE 2.4 images from the subsites are no longer printing when called to the main site. All other fields and data from the subsites will come through (ie, title, entry_id). The images’s custom field name is recognized even, but it simply won’t print the file url.

I have synced directories, recreated new file image fields to see if they work, and just about everything I can imagine at this point, so I’m needing help.

Live example of problem:
http://www.brehmcenter.com/activities/events/ - Notice the event called “Higher Ground” doesn’t have an image - it is from a subsite. The events that do have images are from the default site. But all events, no matter the site, print all other fields.

http://www.brehmcenter.com/initiatives/reelspirituality/events/ - This is the specific subsite for the “Higher Ground” event and you’ll see the image gets printed just fine.

Again, this is happening for all our subsites trying to feed images using the core “file” field.

v2.4.0 - Build: date 20120123
MSM 2.1.2

Thanks!

on your default site, I don’t see anything in the code that is trying to pull your image of higher ground.

1.  Would you be able to share the code are you using to display the event lists on your default page?

(I’m trying to sort out what field is failing to load in your default site template, and why)

indeed, weird that it is working for the “engage the senses” and not the “higher group”.

2.  Are these event snippets part of the same loop, or placed individually with unique settings for each one?

Here’s the relevant piece of code that isn’t working for the image. I’ve tested this without using imgsizer and still nothing prints from the field. Inserting “Test” will print however in the sections where the image should come from, meaning the field is being read properly.

{exp:channel:entries status="open" channel="events|conferences" site="default_site|site_2|site_3|site_4|site_5" dynamic="off" sort="asc" show_future_entries="yes" show_expired="off" disable="pagination|member_data|categories|category_fields"}

    </div>
  </div>
{/exp:channel:entries}

Do you think I have a config setting somewhere that go out of whack in the upgrade?

Notice that the following code works on the subsite:

{exp:channel:entries channel="events" dynamic="off" show_future_entries="yes"}
  <div class="int_featured_media_right">
    {if event_main_image OR event_image_thumb}
      <div class="conv_left_image">
        <a href="http://{page_url}">_        _        {if event_image_thumb}__          {exp:imgsizer:size base_cache="{imgbasecache}" base_path="{imgbasepath}" cache="{imgcacheon}" src="{event_image_thumb}" width="155" height="95" alt="{title}" class=""  }__        {if:else}__          {exp:imgsizer:size base_cache="{imgbasecache}" base_path="{imgbasepath}" cache="{imgcacheon}" src="{event_main_image}" width="155" height="95" alt="{title}" class=""  }__        {/if}_        </a>
      </div>
    {/if}
  </div>
{/exp:channel:entries}

it all looks like it should be working to me (and indeed, it was working before the upgrade)

I see that you have sync’ed directories - I want to make sure I understand exactly what you did.  Did you:

1. “sync files” (http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/cp/content/files/sync_files.html)
2. “sync templates” (http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/cp/design/templates/synchronize_templates.html)

Did you clear your caches? (http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/cp/tools/data/clear_cached_data_files.html)

Definitely. I’ve done all that multiple times, both on my local copy and the production site. I’ve created new test fields, uploaded new fields, etc. Nothing is working. The only thing I can think is that config is messed up in the MSM set up? All my MSM files are fine and new.

are other field types working okay, just the file type not working?

is it a safecracker file?

(I don’t know if it’s related, but I suspect not - I’ve been having an issue with the boolean true-false tests of safecracker file fields since upgrading.  Oddly, my error is opposite of yours, and not accessing files from a different site. I do not believe my situation and yours are related)

All other field types work just fine. You can see the other data being imported with no problems. No, it’s not safecracker.

After looking at the MSM changelog, I’m thinking it has to be that. I’m going to reinstall MSM a bit later today and see what that does. Don’t worry about me until then. I’ll report back.

Hi sjc80,

Actually, it sounds like you just ran into this bug. Give the fix suggested there a try and see if it clears everything up for you.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the bug info. Unfortunately, that did not work for me. I still haven’t verified the MSM update to 2.1.2 was done properly (if at all). I’ll get back after I’ve done that.

Okay, I did the quick update to MSM 2.1.2 and nothing has helped. Can someone maybe give a look inside the cp an files?

Hi sjc80,

What kind of field type are you using here? Is it file, text, etc?

What are you seeing in place of the image you expect?

Try creating a basic test template on your “sub site”:

{exp:channel:entries channel="events" dynamic="off" show_future_entries="yes"}
 {event_image_thumb}
 {event_main_image}
{/exp:channel:entries}

What are the results of that test?

Cheers,

Hi Dan,

The image is using “File” field type.

The field is returning nothing on the default site.

I did your test. The image urls print on the page when the template is on the sub site. I moved the template to the default site and added “site=‘site_2’” to the channel:entries tag. Nothing.

Hi sjc80,

Alright, you are not the only user to report that the fix didn’t have an effect. I’m going to take this up the ladder so we can get a closer look. Be on the lookout for an email from us.
